Scattered trees common to the floodplain may be present. <i>Platanus occidentalis, Populus deltoides, Salix nigra</i>, and <i>Acer negundo</i> are among these. Herbaceous species are varied, but common ones are <i>Alliaria petiolata, Phalaris arundinacea, Solidago canadensis</i>, and <i>Verbesina alternifolia</i>.
